Follow the link above to see the full patch notes; for now, here’s the matchmaking section, since that seems to be the most pressing issue at present.

Addressed a number of issues that resulted in extended matchmaking times and low matchmaking success rates.

Made a number of updates to how matchmaking progress is communicated to the player. With this update, you’ll see better, more frequent and more informative status updates throughout the matchmaking flow – so “Players Found” for example, will be displayed to let players know where they are in the matchmaking process instead of simply wondering if it’s going to connect.
